The Urban-Architect role in smart cities is a topic that has not received much attention from the scientific community. This article studies the work of the traditional responsible for thinking the cities, the Urban Architect. Under a critical proposition, aspects of this problematic are identified, which is in part nourished by the deficient action of these professionals. The study was divided into two parts, the first one materialized through a bibliographical survey, in this section it is presented; 1 — a more detailed description of why this research work; 2 — a contextualisation of the transition of the scenarios is explained; 3 — the problematization and the reflection are raised for some reasons of the “disqualification” of the action of the architect-urbanist in the scene. The second is based on the discussion between the authors and case studies; 4 — aspects are discussed and some characteristics are listed for “(re) framing” within the ideal scenario; 5 — four case studies are described: two smart cities built from scratch and two cities being transformed into smart cities; 6 — the limitations, conclusions and strands for future work are woven.

Most of mature companies, operating through a certain form of repeat business in producing incremental innovations, have lost their ability to conduct radical or breakthrough innovations. While this is not necessarily a bad strategy for short-term sustainability, this is more questionable for future growth and long-term sustainability. Hence, we present in this paper a new innovation model, named UX-FFE because it combines both User eXperience and Fuzzy Front-End approaches. It is intended to tackle economical and social challenges of a successful innovation process. Beyond the systemic processes, like the FFE, addressing the economic stake of a company, our model includes an UX-based process in order to address also the social stake. Then, we explain how this new innovation model was concretely implemented, through the use of several techniques and tools, within a mature industrial company. Finally, we unveil the results of this innovation process experiment for evaluating its potential to overcome both economical and social challenges.

This work attempts to identify gender differences on the peer assessment process within Project-Based Learning (PBL). It involved the study of perceptions on teamwork and grade results from a total of 330 students distributed by seven successive PBL editions of the Industrial Engineering and Management program. This program can be considered gender balanced, with 51% females and 49% males. The data analyzed focused on peer assessment results and on the final marks. The analysis revealed a positive correlation between the peer assessment grades and the final grades. A gender difference was found on peer grades as well as on final grades, favoring female. The individual merit was put forward in an attempt to justify the differences found, but conclusive evidence should be supported with further investigation.

One of the most important requirements for the manufacturing industry is the scalable and fault tolerant realization of their business processes. While there are already several propositions towards elastic process execution on cloud resources, compensation for faulty tasks often remains a manual task. In this paper, we present FCE4BPMN, which realizes a cloud-based execution environment, which can compensate business model executions exceptions on-demand. These compensations are performed just-in-time and ad-hoc, based on a semantically annotated BPMN model. Besides basic compensations, the optimization component is also capable of optimizing the overall process execution based on different QoS criteria. We, therefore, provide an extension to the BPMN standard as well as an execution environment to run business processes on cloud resources. Finally, we validate our approach based on a set of requirements originating from the manufacturing domain.

Companies are looking for new approaches and tools to help them meet their customer's demands, particularly the desire of customized products at lower costs. The paradigm of product-service systems brings companies the opportunity of enlarging their offer, looking at products and services in an integrated way. This paper presents the early prototype of a software platform that supports companies in designing PSSs using feedback information collected over the value chain. The prototype described has been tested in three industrial companies and is currently being further developed.

The emergence of in-memory database technologies may be seen as a groundbreaking development in the segment of data storage and data analytics enabling end-users using real-time applications on top of big data. In this work, we propose a framework for a real-time decision support system for response during a crisis or disruption of critical infrastructures or their components grounding on in-memory database technologies and smart city data sources. A simulation software which utilizes a multi-agent based model for describing the landscape of a smart city's infrastructure or their components incorporating a generic framework for defining disruption scenarios, generates big data which is stored in a database applying in-memory database technologies. According to current urban status data and the type of disruptions, data including made decisions and strategies which are best in the sense of urban resilience is instantly collected from the database.

Indoor positioning systems are becoming a required sub-system in many ambient assisted living scenarios. Another area that would greatly benefit from the enriched context of localization is the IoT (Internet of Things) device interaction. However, at this moment there aren't any satisfying technologies or approaches for precise indoor positioning. This paper proposes an indoor positioning method based on trilateration using Wi-Fi RSSI measurements with corrections to eliminate the noise and the bias. The proposed method is tested in a laboratory environment and results are described.

Knowledge Transfer in Project-based Organizations has been recognized as productivity and economic growth promoters that are currently not properly managed. Therefore, it is critical to investigate the importance of knowledge regarding its acquisition, use and transfer across all departments of an organization. The main objective of this work was to evaluate how modern organizations from different business sectors manage and share their knowledge by following the Knowledge Management and Transfer Life-Cycles when developing their projects. Organizational surveys were performed to employees working in project management within Portuguese organizations (or with representation in Portugal,) from multiple business sectors and holding different hierarchical positions. The present study revealed that most Companies can identify, capture and retain the relevant knowledge, and apply it to the development of other projects. However, the steps corresponding to the transfer of knowledge between collaborators within the organization and to the evaluation/review of the benefit generated by the transferred knowledge are not being followed. The inexistence of a Project department or a team dedicated to projects within the organization seems to be limiting the effectiveness of knowledge management and transfer.

Public safety and personal security organizations need to achieve and maintain high levels of service, while managing the expectations of citizens, the mandates of legislation, and the impacts of new forms of technology, including mobile and IoT communications. In this context, Big and Linked Data analysis is expected to play a key role in the domain of Public Safety and Personal security industries. The paper presents the challenges in achieving efficient and secure big data analysis in this domain, in view of the current state-of-the-art in big and linked data technologies, and proposes a framework that brings together the data, the network & the technologies to create a curated, semantically enhanced, interlinked & multilingual platform for public & personal safety-related big data.

Living lab is becoming a popular concept to design integrated solutions through the integration of users in the each stages of an innovation process. This study uses the systematic literature review methodology in order to research the suitable methodology for modelling a Living Lab decision-making process that enabling multi-stakeholders, especially citizens of Smart City projects leading to the research agendas for the coming years. Finally, a conceptual framework of collaboration involving multi-stakeholders to follow the share decision-making process in a Living Lab platform is proposed.
